It is important to be as honest as possible with children. I feel they need to know what death is when the questions first start.
They need to know that it is just a part of life.
That said...
When my father committed suicide a few years back my son was about three or four at the time. While I told him that he had died I did not tell him that it was suicide. I thought that might be a little deep for him at the time.
He is nine now and if he were to ask me today how his grandfather died I am prepared to tell him just what happened.
